Patagonia 2008

The first time I have seen photos of Cerro Torre, Fitz Roy and
Torres del Paine is in 2007. I have known nothing about Patagonia
then and I have been so deeply impressed by the peaks' shapes that
being there has become a priority for me. A year later I arrive at
El Calafate airport. It is towards evening, the sky is dusky and
cloudy, and somewhere near the horizon lenticular clouds of
Patagonia are taking place. The wind is blowing over the blossomed
chamomile among the spine steppe bushes and I feel like
standing at the end of the world. And I am there, in fact. The next
ten days I meet and feel the endless steppe, hurricane winds,
severe peaks lit by fire-coloured sunrises, and part of my heart
stays here forever.
